I know a lot has been made of the similarities between this year's team and the 2005 National Championship team, and rightfully so.  I think we are in a great position to make a run this year, and hopefully win a second championship this decade.

I ran across another bit of history while perusing ESPN Insider ($) today.  If we do win the title this year, this may just be an interesting piece of trivia in the future...

Since the preseason poll began in 1950, this is only the third time that the AP top 10 for Week 5 has included as many as four teams with a loss. In both previous years, 1963 and 1977, there was only one team in the nation with a perfect record at the end of the regular season, and both times it was Texas.

In 1963, the Longhorns were crowned national champs and went on to beat Navy and Heisman winner Roger Staubach in the bowl game. In 1977, Texas had the Heisman winner in Earl Campbell and lost its bowl game (and the national championship) to Notre Dame. Will history repeat itself in the regular season? If so, the Horns might be better off without Colt McCoy's winning the Heisman.

I, for one, hope that history repeats itself one more time. 

Sorry Colt, but I'll take a championship over that overrated statue! 

Just saw this on ESPN.com...

Not that I gave too much stock to Bill Simmons' NCAA Basketball analysis to begin with, but seriously?

St. Mary's over Texas in the second round!

Did he see the drubbing we put on them earlier this year?  How about even watching a Texas game this year at all?!
